I'm trying not to break the bank, but I'm looking to have a hunting rifle built.
It will be a Winchester 70 classic action; 2.5-3 lb trigger; 300 Sherman; 22" 2.5-3lb barrel; Talley QR rings; NECG open sights; McMillan Supergrade carbon stock with side mounted flush cups; ~20 oz FFP optic with an Xmas tree reticle.
So, the stock is long lead...7 mo; the barrel is a custom order blank, thinking Krieger...6 mo(guess); I'll need to find an action/donor rifle....3-4 mo.
i would like this in my gunsmiths hands by October.
i can call my gunsmith, but I gotta ask. Before you have a barreled action, how can you tell the stock maker the barrel contour? It all depends on how much is cut off the breech and the stub length. Is there a standard? Which shank will a model 70 classic in 270 Winchester or 30-06 use?
